+Flutter supports two main approaches for integration testing:
+
+### `integration_test` package
+
+The Flutter SDK includes the [`integration_test`][integration_test] package.
+Tests written with `integration_test` can perform the following tasks:
+
+* Run on the target device.
+  To test multiple Android or iOS devices, use Firebase Test Lab.
+* Run from the host machine with `flutter test integration_test`.
+* Use `flutter_test` APIs. This makes integration tests
+  similar to writing [widget tests][].
+
+However, `integration_test` can't interact with native platform UI,
+such as permission dialogs, notifications, or the contents of
+platform views.
+
+### `patrol` package
+
+[Patrol][] is an open-source testing framework that builds on top
+of Flutter's testing capabilities. It extends `integration_test`
+with native interaction support. Patrol lets you:
+
+* Interact with native platform UI, such as permission dialogs,
+  notifications, and WebViews.
+* Access device-level features like toggling Wi-Fi
+  or adjusting system settings.
+* Write more concise tests using [patrol finders][].
